Unidentified body of a three year old girl found in Australia

It seems highly unlikely that it is Madeleine McCann. I would be really surprised if Madeleine's remains are found outside Europe.I hope the police manage to identify the body and that at least one family gets some closure.

The madeline thing is pure click bait. The Australian authorities have said they have absolutely no reason to believe it is her and anyone lookingto connect it would be pure sensationalist attention seeking!

I imagine the police involved in the McCann investigation have only contacted them in order to quell any speculation due to the right age and time frame rather than any real belief that it might be her.

I think the mention of Madeline McCann is more to raise awareness so they can find out who the little girl is rather than a belief that it is likely to be Madeline. Poor girl, and her family. I feel sorry for the McCanns as well, it must be hard being dragged through the mill again.

What has the family background got to do with it? An unknown child went missing several years ago and is yet to be found but the police are dealing with it - that is, the Australian police. The child has been dead for a long time, they aren't dealing with much more than some bones and maybe a bit of hair so how can they have ruled out every missing child in Australia?
